MN Cake Smash Photographer | Luka’s First Birthday Session

I had such a blast being the MN cake smash photographer for this handsome little man’s first birthday! Luka was such an easygoing baby, and the most adorable little birthday boy—I gushed over his curls the entire session.

I’m also totally jealous of this piano prop that mom and dad brought from home—I might just have to go out and buy something like it for my St. Cloud, MN photography studio! Dad is the musician of the family and actually has a recording studio at their house, which is so cool! We all thought Luka looked like a little Bruno Mars. :)

Mom requested no other props aside from the piano, so we kept things pretty minimalist. She liked the simple, clean look, which I also love! It made the photos from this first birthday photography session so timeless. I’m confident these photos will never go out of style!

Luka didn’t seem too hungry during the cake smash photography portion of our time together, but he was very excited about his bubble bath! There’s nothing like suds for good clean fun!

As a MN cake smash photographer, I love helping little ones and their families celebrate that first big milestone! If you’re interested in a first birthday photo shoot for your baby, get in touch and let’s start planning!

Newborn Baby Girl | St. Cloud, MN Newborn Photographer

Do you want a treat? Then check out the pictures from this sweet newborn baby girl’s photo session! It doesn’t get much more precious than this. That hair! Those cheeks! Her perfect little lips—I could go on, but there’s no need. Just keep scrolling!

We chose lots of nice fluffy textures for this baby girl’s pictures. I love cloud-soft swaddles and thick crocheted or knitted caps for baby photos.

The colors we picked out ended up being so pretty too! The white was just beautiful and gave our photos such a crisp, bright look. And the coral and lavender gave us the perfect amount of color to lend some variety and allow us to play around a little.

Like most babies, this little girl loved to be swaddled. (As a St. Cloud, MN newborn photographer, swaddles are one of my favorite things! They look great, and babies adore feeling all snuggly and safe in them.) She also did great with our other poses too. I really like the naked baby poses since they gave me a chance to highlight all those baby rolls and dimples!

Sweet dreams, baby girl!

Newborn & Family Photoshoot | Central MN Photographer

Anyone else excited for the holidays? I know I am! For me, holidays are all about family, which is why it was so nice to do this newborn and family photoshoot earlier this month. Lizbeth and Kevin brought their new baby girl Ariany to the studio for pictures—and Grandma was able to come too!

I had met Lizbeth earlier when I did her maternity session, so it was fantastic to have her back in the studio and to meet the rest of the family. Especially the new little arrival! Ariany was such a cutie and had the most beautiful dark hair. Everything about her was perfect—down to those tiny fingers and toes. (I couldn’t resist a few closeups).

Although we kept our family photos pretty neutral with grays and whites, we wanted to do all girl for the baby-only portion of this newborn and family photoshoot. What could be better than pink and gold? I think Ariany liked it too. We got a sweet half-awake smile out of her!

This family is totally in love with their new bundle, and who can blame them? I loved capturing all of them together.

If you need a central MN photographer for your baby pictures, family pictures, or any other portraits, look no further! With years in the business and a passion for portraiture, Tiny Hearts Studio is the perfect place to capture your family’s memories. Can’t wait for your session!
